The ALCAIDE’S CAFE

 
 
Soon there will be hundreds (some say thousands) of new agencies and boards and panels staffed by tens of thousands of new bureaucrats and government employees, all to implement our new ObamaCare World. That’s so when we want a doctor, or a pill, or hospital treatment, or operation, or consultation we can go to them […]

I remember hearing, just a few decades ago, all the sociologists and family counselors, the pundits and social commentators, and I and my friends, lamenting the effect TV has had on family and friends and social life. We had all become couch potatos, and families become placid silent zombies lined along the (oversized) couch staring […]

I feel I should say a little more, add a second chapter, to my last post where I seemed to give (Senator) Harry Reid a pass but posed questions about (President) Obama’s excusing him. So I will, being the master of this universe.
There’s something we do with most our acquaintances, called “taking the measure of […]

Everyone’s talking about Harry Reid and whether he’s (1) racist, and (2) should resign. Well, its all Republicans talking about #2. The reason: He’s been quoted as saying that Obama’s being ”light skinned” and able to talk with no “negro dialect”, except when he wants to, would make him a great candidate for the Presidency in 08. […]

I know one should always look for silver linings and glasses half-full, etc., but the happy declarations that “Our programs (stimulus, Tarp, and massive Govt expansion, etc.) are working!” because the job loss numbers are recently declining, rather ignore the fact that as millions are out of work there are just fewer left around to […]

 
I don’t understand why the Obama Administration cannot understand the jihadist mind and ideology. Our very existence depends on their “getting it”, but there’s no sign they’re even close yet. 
Take for instance the decision to move the sheik Kahalid and his entourage for a trial, with its normal snafus and shenanigans, into the city of New York. Not just that, […]

 
Obama, knowing only Chicago-style politics, with no executive experience in business or politics, and no significant legislative experience, is stuck. All he really knows is how to act like a community organizer/activist, a la Chicago-style. And truthfully, with the from the perspective of one who’s had some experience in all three types of politics, I […]

Here we are, in the throes of a recession … which the Obama-ites called a Depression … but now they say, “We underestimated how severe it was, the mess Bush left us”, to excuse their so-far failure to turn it around. Like, they said a trillion dollar program had to be passed by Congress in […]

After the worldwide recession hit, and economies everywhere fell flat; after we (the U.S. Government) created the TARP & Stimulus “rescues” and set the stage for tomorrow’s bankruptcy; after we “bailed out” all those sinking banks and finance firms; after we villainized CEOs and big-time finance people and sent thugs to threaten and disgrace them even […]

If you have followed this blog, recently, or in it’s first 4 year incarnation, you know I’ve been a huge skeptic … no, make that “opponent”, of the great global climate warming theory … no, make that “scam”. I will, in fact, try to get the time to transfer/resurrect more of my past writings on that […]
